Please reconsider having Positional Ranked.

We got a Riot dev diary back in April regarding Positional Ranks, and the overwhelming majority (also highest upvoted) in the comments did NOT like the 5 separate rankings, myself included. Here is Riot's post I'm referring to for anyone not familiar with what they're implementing;

Riot, please don't let this be like Flex Queue where you force a change down our throats that we didn't ask for and didn't like the sound of, and then take half a season to decide you made a mistake and revert it.

Sincerely, Concerned Ranked Aficionado

I mean, if executed properly it can only be positive. Don't you want the opportunity to get better at other positions without ending up in imbalanced games bc your counterpart on the other team just outclasses you? Why do you think it will be worse than what we have now?

to be fair with the current way it is, if youre a diamond top Fiora , its treating you as if you have the exact same amount of skill playing like a diamond Kaisa despite having only 6 norms games under your belt with her .

I think positional ranks will help in lots of areas, only downside I can imagine is it might take longer to rank all of your positions, but I think riot made climbing faster too.

we didn't ask for

There's a lot of things that people "don't ask for" in videogames, too bad it's up to the company not you.
